Kalina Village A beat Talaikerz by one goal to top the league table along with Oceanics, Kalina Village last year Champions are more composed team & they are taking every game seriously after they drew their first match which was played against Air India Colony. Kalina Village tried hard to score but were held by their derby opponents. Talaikerz gave their best & only made one mistake which cost the lone goal of the match. Arun Patil was good to react on the opportunity which was provided to him & scored for Kalina Village A.

They looked clam & had total control of the game, there players forced the Oceanics team to play defensive football by attacking from the start of the game. Sylvester Rodrigues removed two goal line saves. Oceanics had many free kick options but they were in no mood to convert the opportunities. Oceanics were disappointed after their performance & so were their supporters.

The Clash of the titans, deadly saves, mind blowing shots, pace & energy it was all displayed at the match which was played for pride. Kalina United tried their best to dominate & give a bad taste for Kalina Rangers their derby opponents. But after great show both the teams could not score, the silence was then broken by Neil Dcosta who headed the ball to the nets for Kalina Rangers & from there more clashes started. The referees had tough time controlling the game & splitting the players.

Its always mind blowing experience when you watch the KFL Derby matches. KFL supporters never miss this show & come in large numbers to back there team. Also all the team players are charged up & they try hard not to loose the derby match.

After reaching the semi-finals spot for the previous two KFL Tournaments, Kalina United are trying their best & also ensuring that this time they will make it again. They have currently defeated Kalina Village B & last year finalist Egyptian Boys.

They were the last once to place their team for the qualifying matches but never the least ensured that they book their slot into the main league. Won against East Indians & New Air India Colony, drew against FHSC India

After missing the tournament for last few years Air India Colony qualifies for the 12th KFL Tournament. They looked impressive and had the right attitude as they stepped on for the qualifying rounds. Won against Devil Stickers & Indian Colony, drew with Kalina Rangers in the qualifying which secured their place in KFL main league

After their worst KFL performance last year Kalina Rangers are back into the main league. It was strange to believe that Kalina Rangers five time Champions of KFL tournament were relegated last year but as true fighter they are back. They won against Devil Strikers & drew with Air India Colony & Indian Colony in their qualifying rounds

Kalina Village had always produced talented footballers but they had never won the KFL tournament, even last year they reached the finals but were held by Oceanics. The desire to get back to the Finals again was not easy for them, they new Egyptians Boys after their come back to the league were tough once to crack down. Kalina Village played some fantastic football on the final day, their young players had the pace and stamina. Egyptian Boys tried pushing them to play defensive football, but one lose ball & the counter attack from Kalina Village players changed the entire game, Karan Pal made no mistake scoring the goal & becoming the hero for Kalina Village to win their First title in eleven years

Every year KFL host the exhibition match which is played between the OLEP SC and Media in memory of Late Mario Mendes, who had boosted the entire football events which were held in Kalina by his write-ups, most importantly the KFL tournament, with his help we got the maximum coverage on all leading newspapers. The OLEP SC misses him dearly and to honor his good work holds this match every year, Last year the media team had defeated the OLEP SC and it was time for the turn around.

Chembur Veterans & Vile Parle Veterans Final match was a great show to watch on the grounds of St. Mary’s Kalina. Vile Parle Veterans had already defeated their opponents while playing the League rounds and were looking confident to repeat the same results, but Chembur Veterans had done their home work. They played attacking football from the start of the match which gave them a two goals lead. Goal scorers Kishore Khudkar & Milton Fernandes scored one goal each to give their team the boost; they were good at controlling the ball at their end. Vile Parle tried hard to crack them but were not able to do so, after repeated attempts they just managed to reduce the margin by one goal, goal scorer Richard Misquitta.

It was a cracking match from the start till the end of the match as Egyptian Boys took on KFL defending Champions Oceanics. It was not an easy task for them but they finished the game in style as they have always done it. Oceanics were looking comfortable after scoring the first goal of the match by Shenol Jacinto they almost kept the ball position with them but just before half time a superb dribling by Lislie Rodrigues made the difference after cutting three players back to back he passed the ball to Russel Galbano which made no mistake to score the goal & equalise the score. The game started turning from there on & the match became interesting both side started taking their chances, it was Russel Galbano again who rushed & scored the second goal which was also a winning goal for their team. He is now as top goal scorer of the tournament, but just before the final whistle was blown he was awarded red card, it would be a great loss for Egyptian Boys as their main striker will be out of the Final game.

Last Year KFL Finalist Kalina Village went all out to get back to the KFL Finals. Their last year finals defeat against Oceanics has motivated them & made them more stronger. As they played against Kalina United only victory was on their mind, they had good ball control which held their opponents. The lone goal scored by Sheldon Sharma was class apart, Kalina United tried hard to get back into the game but they were not able to score as they were blocked by strong defence line of Kalina Village.

Vile Parle veterans the only side which had won all their league matches were trying their best as it was not a easy task, although they had scored the first goal they knew that Andheri veterans can hit them anytime & so was the score later. Kamlesh Mendon scored a fantastic goal & leveled the score line, it was difficult from their on; as both the sides were desperate to score the next goal. Free kick was awarded to Vile Parle veterans after a heated argument on the ground between both the team players. Remi Fernandes came forward to take the storck & by his previous expeirence scored the goal which lead them to the Finals.

Chembur Veterans fantastic performance earned them the Veteran finals place. Kalina Veterans had the home advantage but they could not match with the pace created by Chembur side, they tried hard but they were not able to crack the goal, at the other end Chembur veterans kept on building the pressue as they where dominating the game after scoring the lone goal.

It was hard to believe that five times KFL Champions Kalina Rangers eliminated from the KFL league, this was their worst performance in the KFL tournament; they were followed by Rovers which has also been a promising team every year. Hope they fight back when they play the qualifying rounds next year.

Last year KFL veterans Champions Andheri East veterans were beaten by Vile Parle Veterans. Jerry Misquitta scored two goals & the goal tally was later added by Osborne Dsouza, Andheri East just managed to score one goal (Goal Score – Carl Quadros). Vile Parle veterans although secured their 3 points but they have two more matches to win.

Spanish pass-masters reign supreme.One of the hardest tasks Spain had to face at the World Cup was overcoming the shock of losing their opening match to Switzerland.After more than three years of almost constant success and plaudits, the Spanish were seeing life from a different perspective.Inside the Spain camp though, which included around three-quarters of the squad that conquered Europe two years previously, the mood remained determined and defiant, with no thoughts of sacrificing the patient passing game that had been serving them so well.The so-called tiki-taka style of fluid ball circulation and probing touch football that swept Vicente Del Bosque side to glory in South Africa has been the backbone of both Spain and Barcelona domination in recent years and should not have caught any team unawares this summer.Spain classy pass masters overcame all challenges to add a first-ever World Cup title to their European crown.

Those were proud figures, but both runs came to a shuddering halt as the Oranje were ultimately undone by Spain breakthrough goal on 116 minutes.

Germany young guns fired & displayed a powerful show at FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010, which also helped them retained their number three spot at the World Cup. German football has become attack-minded and inventive – not that this was obvious in the semi-final defeat by Spain, where experience and class overcame callow enthusiasm, but it was emphatically on display in resounding wins over England and Argentina.

As defender Khan changed the face of the game with his timely and final goal!

The solitary goal came from defender Irfan Khan, which was enough to see his side lift the title after a month and a half of intense qualification.

Excluding the winning goal, the match could have been anyone’s, as both sides had their own chances to get ahead. The Rovers clearly missed the services of Abbu Shaikh and the in form Richard Nadar, who scored a brace in their semi final against Oceanics, too seemed to be dormant, especially his runs through the mid-field that created gaps for potential goals.

The first half saw alternate ball possession for either side, where the strikers failed to get through, thanks to a well coordinated defence on either side. The only real chance came to the enterprising Nadar, who showed one instance of his dynamic runs from the half line. But his well-orchestrated shot went just wide of the pole, with the goalkeeper nowhere in sight.

Things didn’t really change in the second, save for the shots on target being more frequent, with both the sides sensing an urgency to get ahead. A cross by Rovers’ Cerick D’Mello saw Larry Kinny’s shot kept out by the Emmanuel Fernandes in the goal. A long ball by Sheldon Jacinto was the only fumble recorded by an otherwise efficient Fernandes, which fell to Savio Rodrigues but was only called foul by the referee.

The Rangers too had their share of chances as Anthony Machado’s long-range effort went just off the right bracket. The Rovers clearly had a bigger support from the crowd. However, a loose ball in the box by Khan put past keeper Sheldon Jacinto was enough to silence the vociferous Rovers’ support, much to the delight of a relatively smaller number of Rangers’ supporters. The Rangers could have further increased the margin but Neil D’Costa’s header from a corner could only reach as far as the bar.
